Founded in 1972 at the inception of field video recording, Porta-Brace is the original field production case. Launched by the spirit of innovation and experimentation, this legacy of leadership still fuels the Portabrace design and production teams more than 30 years later.
The Portabrace heritage of quality workmanship and exceptional performance is inherent in the Vermont traditions of artistry, free-expression, woodworking, cottage industry, and fierce independence. Vermonters are a proud lot, and the Portabrace team is no exception. There are no “seconds” or “irregulars” at Porta-Brace. If it’s not exactly right, we fix it. And when it’s our best work, we sign our name on the tag you’ll find in every Portabrace case. While Portabrace are confident in their skills and their work, they still take the time to inspect every case before it’s shipped. They appreciate fully the value of your equipment, and understand that there are no second chances in field production. Award-winning recording opportunities can be missed in the blink of an eye, so they design their cases to be integral to your field performance and then build them to the highest quality and performance standards. Vermont Maple hardwood handles. Genuine suede straps. Durable leather handles. Rugged blue Cordura® fabrics. All are hallmarks of the now legendary Portabrace field production case. And all require skill, strength, and patience to craft by hand into the form-fitting, performance-enhancing cases sought-after by field and location production professionals worldwide.
